Collateral Damage Daily for October 9

Jaime Garcia left his start yesterday with left shoulder stiffness and underwent an MRI. Garcia actually felt stiffness a few days earlier but tried to gut it out on Monday. His MRI results have not been released, but he dealt with rotator cuff and labrum tears earlier this summer. The southpaw will likely be removed from the NLDS roster prior to Game Three. … A.J. Ellis underwent surgery on Friday to address meniscal tears in his left knee. He is expected to make a full recovery in time for spring training.
